This is a show where CMRN and Danni play through the Baldur's Gate saga and beyond. If you're a fan of those classic isometric role-playing games, then you're going to enjoy this. And if you're not, then you'll at least laugh at some of the jokes.
The Mages & Murderdads podcast is an absolute gem for anyone who has a deep love and appreciation for the games of Baldur's Gate and the role-playing games that followed in its footsteps. This podcast has become my personal favorite among long-form podcasts because of its engaging hosts, insightful commentary, and wealth of knowledge on the subject matter. It has even inspired me to create characters in other RPGs, like Shadowrun HK and Tyranny, with mixed but enjoyable results.
One of the best aspects of The Mages & Murderdads podcast is just how good it is at immersing you into the world of Baldur's Gate and its lore. The hosts, Cam and Danni, have an incredible ability to capture your attention with their entertaining banter and deep understanding of the material. Through their episodes, I've gained a greater understanding of gameplay mechanics, character development, and even the intricate details of Baldur's Gate lore. It has become my go-to source whenever I start a new playthrough, as it always offers valuable insights that I might have missed otherwise.
However, no podcast is without its flaws. One potential drawback I could mention is that sometimes the show may assume prior knowledge or familiarity with certain aspects of the games being discussed. As someone who hadn't seen or played one of these games before listening to The Mages & Murderdads podcast, I occasionally found myself wanting more context or background information to fully grasp some of the discussions. While this didn't diminish my enjoyment overall, it may be something to consider for newcomers to this genre.
In conclusion, The Mages & Murderdads podcast is not only highly entertaining but also serves as an excellent resource for fans of Baldur's Gate and other similar RPGs. Cam and Danni are charismatic hosts who bring both humor and insight into each episode. Whether you're interested in RPGs, tabletop gaming, classic video games, or simply expanding your knowledge of lore, I highly recommend giving this podcast a listen. It's like having a conversation with friends who are experts in the subject matter, and it will undoubtedly enhance your gaming experience.
